Sewing w/grandkids
 

I had 3 of my grandkids for a morning and my DIL mentioned beforehand that she thought they might like to know how a sewing machine worked. So the night before I put together 3 pillowcases and just left the side and top seams free. After a little introduction, they made french seams, ironed and finished the cases. They were thrilled to try something new. My son does a lot of traveling for the Wounder Warrior Regiment of the Marine Corp and since I won"t be watching another grandchild this coming school year because she is going into Kindergarten, I have offered to stay with these 3 if my DIL can travel overnite with her husband. I promised another sewing project: envelope coverings for throw pillows for their bedroom.

Very nice.....such a good way to spend time with the grandkids..... Looks like they really enjoyed it... :-)

That's wonderful... nice to see kids doing something with their hands other than phones n tablets n stuff

Making memories that is what it is all about!!!!

oh how nice hope they had fun!!

Perfect. Sew, who had more fun... the grandkids or Grandma watching them enjoy sewing?

What a lucky Grams you are. I also try to tell mine stories of my childhood during our together times. They see me in a different light - like you were a kid once? LOL

This is great! I hope to be able to share these types of things with my grandson as he grows up.

Cute bunch you have there! Thank you for some great ideas!
